Wario Land Wii due in September

Nintendo has announced that Wario Land: The Shake Dimension will be released for Wii on 26th September in Europe.

The news comes courtesy of a monstrous pile of dates from the Nintendo UK press office, which also pegs the upcoming Brothers In Arms Wii game, Double Time, as 14th August.

Also on the list for August is Manhunt 2 from Rockstar, although the publisher has yet to get back to us about that at the time of writing. (Update, 4.42pm: We've now been told that there's no current date for Europe despite Nintendo's listing.)

So what's Wario Land: The Shake Dimension? According to details unearthed this month and a scanned leaflet, it's a 2D platformer where you hold the Wiimote like a regular controller and shake it to perform certain functions.

Not the most exciting news ever, then, but previous Wario platform games have been pretty good, and the last one, Wario World on the GameCube by Treasure, was popular with us.

This one isn't being done by Treasure, however; instead it's courtesy of Good-feel, which is headed up by former Konami personnel according to sources close to Google.

Elsewhere on Nintendo's big old list, in the DS area, is Make 10: A Journey of Numbers - also for 26th September - and, at long last, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations on 3rd October. Just five months after its sequel came out.

Those Wii dates in full. (Please bear in mind that some appear slightly out of date - e.g. Okami is already out - but any errors and typos are Nintendo's own!):
